Armored Saint:
MESSAGE FROM JOHN BUSH AND ARMORED SAINT :
What up Saint faithful!!
The tour has been awesome so far. We’ve had killer shows with incredible receptions, so we thank you all who’ve attended. You guys have been amazing!
We also want to thank the WASP camp. They have been extremely kind to us throughout the run.
Unfortunately, luck has dealt me a gnarly knuckle ball. I came down with an illness and even though it hasn’t made me feel bad, it still has infiltrated my nasal and chest area and planted itself. I tried to push through in typical John Bush fashion in Cleveland and Pittsburgh but by doing so I jacked up my pipes and now I sit in Baltimore frustrated and emotionally distraught.
Luckily, long- time friend and Armored Saint fan Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys/ Broken Teeth) is coming to the rescue again. He’s already helped Accept earlier this year on tour and now he’s stepping into the batter’s box for me. I am extremely grateful, and I know he’ll kill it!
I’ve seen a great doctor and he’s got me on the mend, and I hope to be onstage soon.
I’m out here on the road and I plan on being near the stage in giving my band members my support.
Thanks to the fans for your understanding and don’t be offended if I don’t talk to you.
JB.

COOL FROM THE SPEEDWAY: In celebration of one of hard rock’s most revered underground bands, Dirty Looks did the seemingly impossible on Sept. 18, 2021, when they regrouped at Selinsgrove Speedway in their old stomping grounds of Pennsylvania to perform songs from their classic 1988 album “Cool From the Wire” and its 1989 follow-up, “Turn of the Screw.”
With more than 1,000 delirious fans in attendance — some from as far away as Florida and Texas, and all buying every stitch of merch they thought they’d never see again — the hotly anticipated gig was a fitting reunion and heartfelt tribute to original Dirty Looks singer Henrik Ostergaard who sadly passed away in 2011.
“As someone who first started collaborating with Henrik in 1986, I couldn’t be prouder to keep his memory alive through our music,” said bassist Jack Pyers. “We were really excited to play these songs for the first time in years and reconnect with all the fans who put Dirty Looks on the map.” Anchored by the classic, Atlantic Records-era members Pyers, guitarist Paul Lidel and drummer Gene Barnett, the revamped band added rhythm guitarist David Beeson (Broken Teeth) and vocalist Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys/Broken Teeth) to complete the lineup.
